Bedside Table #2

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Bedside Table #2This is the second table produced for our new bedroom set of furniture. This post includes the hardware already attached (first table posted did not ) and I included an upgrade of over-travel drawer glides. Also, this table is slightly larger as the top is 16”x 24” instead of the other one which was 14”x 24”. Since this one will be on my wife's side of the bed, I figured she would need more room for stuff than I would. Funny how changing 1 measurement to the top piece has a trickle down effect and requires changing many, many more measurements to the aprons, spindle spacing, bottom shelf, etc.Assembly is mostly mortise and tenon style with dowel rod pins for added stability (shown in picture 3). I love the draw-boring technique because it requires very little (if any) glue, and makes me feel like a old school craftsman. Funny, coming from and guy who embraces new technology like laser engravers and CNC machines.The last picture shows its final location, and the area that I am considering using making a headboard for out of this Wormy Chestnut that I recently came across. I'm on the fence about using it because I'm not sure if it will look like a cool accent/focal piece, or just look awkwardly out of place. I would only have enough to do the headboard, and the rest of the bed frame would be filled in with oak. I'm thinking the grain looks very similar, but the color would definitely be darker due to the age of the wood.Thanks for looking, as always comments welcome and questions answered!
